Pattern 111668

In this tutorial, we explore pattern 111668 from friendship-bracelets.net — a fun diamond design that uses three colors for a dynamic look! 💎💙 I walk through how I set it up in GIMP, choose string colors (spoiler: blue won this round!), and share how I save time mapping out patterns.

🧵 I also break down string length (why 1/3 skein is my go-to) and why this design is perfect if you want to try something with color flow across the bracelet.

🙏 A huge thank you to my YouTube Members — your support helps keep the string flowing and the tutorials coming!

Today’s bracelet journey combines pattern 111668 (bracelet) + Kumi 11448 (loop) from friendship-bracelets.net — and wow, what a combo! 💎✨

I walk through my experience creating this bold 3-color diamond design, share insights on color choices (why I went for dramatic contrasts!), and give a heads-up about string lengths — especially that middle color. (Spoiler: it gets short toward the end!)

🧵 We also talk about the importance of making the pattern your own — don’t feel boxed in by the sample colors. This design works great with earthy tones, fiery reds, or anything you dream up!
